Wireless Sensors.Amongst several new products introduced from theMicroStrain range are their wireless sensors. TheV-Link&REG; is at the top of the range, offering up to 8input channels in each wireless node to operate aspart of a high-speed wireless sensor network.These devices, as the name implies, provide a wireless linkbetween the connected sensors and a base station, which canbe up to 70meters away. Featuring 2 kHz sweep rates,combined with 2 Mbytes flash memory, these little nodes haveon board sensor excitation, bridge completion, and programmablegains and offsets. Differential and single ended inputs providean extremely versatile sensor interface. The V-Link&REG; is thereforecompatible with a wide range of analogue sensors, includingstrain gauges, displacement sensors, load cells, torque transducers,pressure sensors, accelerometers, temperature sensors,inclinometers and others. The bi-directional RF communicationslink, in the 2.4GHz range, can trigger a sample to be logged, orrequest real time data to be transmitted to the host PC for dataacquisition and analysis. Typical applications include conditionmonitoring of machines, structures or vehicles, and for sportsperformance monitoring or robotics and machine automation.
